Physicians Have Found Out.

That a communicating and foreign
element in the blood, developed by indi-
gestiOn is the cause of rheumatism. This
settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneOus
covering of the muscles and ligaments
of the joints, causing constant and shift
ting pain, and aggregating as a calca-
reous, chalky deposit which produces
stiffness and distortion of the joints. No
fact which experience has demonstrated
in regard to HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
has stronger evidence to support
than this, namely, that this medi-
cine OF comprehensive uses checks
the formidable and atrocious disease.
nor is it less positively established that
it is preferable to the poisons often used
to arrest it, since the medicine contains
only salutary ingredients. 1t is also
signal remedy for malarial fevers. cons

ailments, debility and other disorders,

To those interested in the obstetrics of turkey
hen, 1 will relate few particulars which sad
experience developed; and some general fec
tons on the species. It's classic name, is Me
leagris Domestica. The picture of an eagle on
the flags of Rome. inspired her soldiers with cou-
rage, and spread alarm amongst her enemies; a
superstition of the dark ages, adopted by Napo-
leon, whose pictures Of eagles on his flags,
scared all Europe out of her wits the immortal
Washington took stock in the superstition and
the government is compelled to submit but the
people take no stock in it; the Turkey would
have been much more significant of gobling ca
pacities.
Thanksgiving day, rs the day most hallowed by
the American Patriot, on that day every good
feeling which the human heart is capable of.
spreads itself, a day in which Charity, Peace, and
Good Will, are infectious, and spread like wild
fire on the praieries, and the subject Of many
marvellous romance. On that day the sublime
emblem is the turkey stuff, and stuffing no pict-
ures about it, the delights and rejoicing over the
length and breadth Of the land: lays the demon
strations, from any achievement, in the history
of man; thanks to the MYSTERIOUS providence,
that rolled this Government into existence. and
| fathers it.
With the sublime lesson taught by tho
gobler, to millions Of men, many mover knew
their duties to their marriage vow in regard to
the respect they promised their spouses, take
notice how the Gobler assumes a variety of att
tudes, to charm his admiring spouse and with
what dignity he struts around her; would you let
turkey excel you in the most sacred duties of
life ? no. initiate his exemple and carry it out to
| perfection And you will participate in tho de-
light of your spouses. Mothers would evince an
appreiative taste were they to chrsten their boys
with the appetizing name Of Turkey aud that

1t Will Not Work.

We understand that some of our poll
tical friends, or wire pullers, propose to
run this coming campaign to suit them
selves. Some say it is not necessary to
change the Parish Executive Committee,
the other, it is foolish to have nominating
conventions, the other, everything is go
ing ON smoothly and as well as could be
desired. Well, we guess these wire
pullers expect to run the political ma
chinery as in the past, in packed room,
and all their own way; but hold on
friends of enormous propensities-this
campaign will be run by the people, for
the people, and in the interest of the peO-
pie, and the few cranks who propose to
usurp the people of their rights by hav-
ing no committee, no convention, or not
submitting to the convention or of bolt
ing proclivities are greatly in error. We
the people, we the motive power of all
government, do protest to such measures
and we. IN the interest of the whole peO-
pie, propose to have a new Parish Exc
cutive Committee, hold conventions,
nominate our candidates and elect them
to the offices to which they are nOmina-
ted. The boilers and independents who
run or compromise with the Republicans
in combination to weaken the regular
nominees of the Democratic party, shall
be treated with the contempt they de-
serve. Well, the people will attend to
the regular nominees at the ballot box,
and pending this, the Messenger propo-
ses to handle Independent, boilers, wire
pullers and those who try to create d&s-
Sension i'm the Democratic ranks for their
personal advancement; and expose them
to the people in their true light, color
and character.

The Inauguration Hop.

Thursday evening, the llth inst. was
the day fixed by the Young Ladies Social
Club for their Inauguration. and it was
indeed grand gala for the ladies of
the club, and the invited guests. On
approa ching the residence OF Judge ST.
mon one was struck with admiration at
the brilliantly illuminated ground which
had been selected for the occasion. Hun
dreds of chinese lanterns of various COL
ors and forms spread here and there in
the trees overhead and the long pendents
of spanish moss hanging majestically
and softly famed by the delightful breeze
that favored the ladies on the occasion
presented quite pleasant sight.
The music was furnished by the ex-
cellent Excelsior band and was so sweet
that one could not resist the temptation
of the dance under such favorable cir
cumstances.
The gathering was the elite of this and
adjoining towns, and the good will, gay
ETY. and good humor that prevailed is
seldom seen, and all these delights are
due to the young ladies of the club. The
refrcshment, cream and cake tables were
tastefully arranged in an alley of shrubs
where all the comforts were procured.
1t was indeed gratifying success for
the first attempt of the young ladies, and
the Messenger extends to the club its
hearty congratulations.
